The newest Wild Child creation went to live with my Great-Godson on his birthday. He was "born" much bigger - half again as big - than the previous Wild Child creations. He is complete with a pocket [for storing "treasures" that any two-year old might find] and a signature loop and red heart, this time on his backside!   He is fashioned with all-cotton fabrics and fiberfill,  grosgrain ribbon curls, and double knotted buttons. Standing 18" high, price by special order [theme fabric optional] is $55.00.

Listen Here Mister!

Listen Here Mister!
   Requested by a friend who wanted to have an audience with someone without interruption, I stitched      
   up more that just their mouths. These fellows are weighted on the bottom to sit at the desk or  wherever they might be summoned to "listen up"! Each doll is one of a kind and can be special ordered. They stand approximately 15" high.  Price: $40

Wild Child Dolls

Wild Child Dolls
Bright colors, soft and washable - these lively little characters are an outgrowth of an idea I had when putting together a doll for my grand-niece. An immediate hit, I was soon making these dolls for others. They are 12-15" tall unless otherwise specified. I have custom designed some but, each doll is original and no two are ever the same. Price: $40.00

Turning

Feeling the wheels turning - slowly, slowly - as if beginning to release from some chink in the works - my creative bend starts to roll. The process seems to have order - yet, is free and almost wild in nature. Excitement is building within as that which was blocking my  creative production is crumbling and becoming mere dust - leaving an open path to fulfillment and purpose.

Sitting at my desk, I purpose to move into the creative posture that ignites my very soul. Art is an active form of the faith that I live by - and which runs through my veins with an energy from my Creator above. Presently, I find myself jumping back and forth in mediums much like a firefly darts through a meadow in the misty dusk of a summer's eve. I am filled with promise and expectation as I take the tools of my passion in hand. My breath catches in anticipation as I lay a stroke of charcoal on a sheet of creamy, toothy  paper - delight spreading with each line applied. My inward being swells with every word that flows from the folds of my mind - thoughts tumble like liquid rushing through a channel - ephemera depositing onto  the page - line upon line. Silver shears slicing through fibers of various textures and hues seem to separate and categorize the ideas and plans that flow from my imagination. Surrounded now by ribbons, bits of lace, and silken floral pieces - Bohemian meets Romantic in style and execution. Creative yearning now takes form from the Divine source that steers my ship, and I delight in my session of "making art". Heady with emotion, I stand back to survey the result of my most recent undertaking and I recognize the satisfaction of yet another encounter in the arena of creating in the pattern of the One who began it all!
